Description
Overview
This right electric folding side mirror is designed for Citroën C5 models manufactured from 2001 up to 2004, with compatibility extending to some 2005 models. It is intended for the passenger side and comes with electric adjustment and folding functionality, ensuring convenience during driving and parking. The mirror is heated and includes a temperature sensor to prevent fogging and ice buildup, enhancing visibility in cold and wet conditions.
Usage and Installation
Replacing the side mirror is a straightforward process for experienced mechanics or DIY car owners. It generally involves removing the interior door panel to access the mirror mounting screws and electrical connectors. Once disconnected, the old mirror can be swapped with this replacement, ensuring all electrical connections are properly restored. Regular checks of mirror functionality are recommended, as the electric folding mechanism and heating elements can wear out over time due to exposure to weather and frequent use.
Common Issues and Maintenance
Side mirrors can experience paint chipping and mechanical wear, especially on models exposed to harsh environments. The paint of this part is Blue Mauritius (color code KPKD) and shows slight signs of wear. The electrical functions may stop working if wiring is damaged or connectors corroded, so it’s important to inspect these during replacement. Maintaining the mirror regularly extends its lifespan and guarantees safety on the road.
